I just finished this book, and even though it was not for my class, I want to blog it for practice. Although the promised secret was not revealed at the end of this book, I really enjoyed reading about 11 year olds Cass and Max-Ernest as they discovered clues and deciphered codes which led them to a spa where two villains were about to murder a synesthetic classmate in order to gain eternal life. The author writes with humor and wit, and any reader, especially 9-12 year olds, will be lured in by the author's style, which combines metafiction, playfulness, and interesting asides and anecdotes.

The Name of This Book is Secret
